The researcher in this study aims to find the correlation between social media addiction and health anxiety among emerging adulthood ranging from the age 16-24 and to investigate whether there is a significant difference in the health anxiety and social media addiction with respect to age and gender. The study involved (N=50) out of which 25 were Males and 25 were Females. Social media addiction was measured using the Social Media Addiction Scale- Student Form (SMAS-SF) and the Health Anxiety was measured using Salkovskis, Rimes, Warwick & Clark (2002). Pearson Product Moment Correlation and t-test were used to test the hypotheses. The results suggested that there is no correlation between social media addiction and health anxiety among adolescents. When health anxiety was compared between males and females who are addicted to social media, there was no significant difference, and again when compared between the age groups of 16-24 years, there was no significant difference. The researcher also found that there was no significant difference in social media addiction with respect to both gender and age.
